Good afternoon MV, I was wondering if anyone has seen this. It looks like the Rout for the captured back on the right side is missing. I have not tried machining this yet but was wondering if anyone else has come across this, and if so what did you do?Multi-tool depth
When using a multi-tool, the depth specified in the machine token is ignored, instead the individual tool depths within the multi-tool are used. This system does not allow for the use of formulas or using a multi-tool at different depths - you have toMenus not showing/operating correctly
I have had issues with the menus and drop downs for a while, and they seem to have gotten worse. Below you can see the subassembly save menu is cropped beyond use. The next image I am trying to illustrate how the tab out menus have layered on top of theFind and Replace Refactoring

Hi Is there a way to have an item number dynamically set based on a global setting? e.g. Item Number =If(G!Cabinetry_Option=2,"1","NOCUT") We have a cabinetry layout for a regular tiny house customer who has multiple versions of essentially the same cabinetry.Extruded product taking to much off when a angle is used
I am using the extruded product, but when I try and use the a angle on the end it ended up taking to much off the wall.Why are both the FaceFrameImagesParts and FaceFrameImagesSubassemblies tables empty?
How can we populate the FaceFrameImagesParts and FaceFrameImagesSubassemblies tables with content, similar to the FaceFrameImages table? There is only a brief mention of these two tables in the article Microvellum Flatshot Token (Reference), and I haveChanging Current Configuration
I think it would be nice if there was the option to change the current configuration without exiting and relogging in. It would be nice if maybe you could do it from the tool bar also.cui import

Hello all, One thing I've noticed since I've started working in Microvellum is that prompts are fairly limited in UI organization options.

Hi. Currently and as the MV team has confirmed to me, these part list dimensions show the panel size less edgeband thickness with absolutely no way to alter this behaviour, irrespective to how the processing stations are set up. We rely heavily on theThick Back Dado/Rabbet Machining Issue
Does anyone have any idea of how to correct the machining on this rabbet cut for a thick back, without adding a new separate machine token? Currently, using the tools we want to use, the rabbet isn't getting fully cut around the edge of the thick back.Change name reference in reports
Hey all!

Part stickers were randomly, some do match but some dont in a same WorkPLINEs with multiple offsets in Parameter 5 lose their pocketing ability
If you offset a PLINE only once (without curly brackets around it), the option for making it a pocket will hold. However, if you offset it multiple times (which requires curly brackets around each instance), the PLINE loses the pocket option you triedArc and Radius problem
Hi everyone, I'm trying to do some arcs and radius to create a trim in a table and run them on a CNC. Those trims have different arcs and when I started copying the lines to create the angle, it looks like the arc ends are separated about 3/16" from theToolbox 2023 Now Available!
